Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

ofpsmith I could understand how this movie could be social commentary on masculinity or gun enthusiasm but the choices these characters make just seem unrealistic. The story is that a group of World War 2 and Vietnam veterans are all hunting in the forest when they come across another group of hunters. Instead of saying hello or waving, they stare at each other before one of the other group inexplicably shoots at the main characters. It erupts into a short fire fight before both groups disperse into the forest. After this occurs, Rex (Cliff Robertson) decides against calling the police for some reason and decides to make plans to go back and seek revenge. They're all in the National Guard so they somehow are able to get permission to mobilize their unit to go into the forest and get revenge. When they get to the forest the other party is waiting and shoots first. This movie raises so many questions. Why did they get shot at? Why do they want revenge so bad? Why don't they call the police? How were they able to use the National Guard to get revenge? It makes no sense. The choices that these characters make are beyond belief and it's really no wonder how they ended up wounded. It's not a bad movie but it's not good either. Moreover it's really just a bore. I don't really recommend it a whole lot.

VideoMonkey I saw this flick years ago when TV was still cool and they had late night movies on most stations instead of ridiculous talk-shows and infomercials. It was probably only on because it was Canadian, and stations were required to have so much Canadian content and back them Canadian movies were for the most part bad or non-existent. It had all the cursing blanked out but still I was old enough to infer what was said. But I was most impressed with this back then! It took me a lot of years to track down a copy of this on video, and now that I did and watched it again, I still thought that it was awesomely cool (even though I knew what the ending would be). The story is pretty simple. A group of hunters bored because there is nothing left to shoot, meet another group of hunters in the same situation. Then just like that, a firefight erupts leaving one of their group injured and one of the other group dead. From then on, it builds up from 'should they report it' to 'they be after us for revenge' and every level in between. So the hunters get all the guns and gear and able-bodied men they can and go back to the spot the following Saturday in anticipation of the other hunters being there to ambush them. Will they be there or is it just paranoia? I'm not saying but the ending is a surprise.

GPHemming CIA Counterintelligence Division Chief was anxious to depict for the general public and specific employees of the U.S. Government an event that had actually ocurred on North American sovereign territory. The facts of this incident were that small units of the Soviet Special Forces [Spetznaz] were indeed crossing the U.S./Canada border and conducting special operations near our missile sites in the Dakotas and Montana, and were permanently based in numerous sanctuary sites within Canada. Moreover, the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police]had repeatedly failed to locate and identify these numerous safe-sites and safe-houses. It was discovered later that Soviet moles within the Canadian Government were responsible for sabotaging ALL of the RCMP counterintelligence and law enforcement efforts for years!The writer "Douglas Fairbairn" was actually a CIA Officer using a cover name, and selected the name because of his fondness for the "Fairbairn" Commando Knives that were part of large collection, and respect for the famous British Police Officer [based in Hong Kong] who had designed the knife during World War II.Unfortunately, security and political concerns caused extensive censoring of the final movie script and within a year of its release it was pulled out of circulation and became extremely difficult to locate and obtain, even to this day!Limited portions of Angleton's files were released under the JFK Act and the CIA Historical Review Act. Numerous attempts [via The Freedom of Information Act/FOIA] to declassify files that refer to both this movie and the activities of Soviet Special Forces inside the United States have been thwarted at every turn. This includes attempts by the Assassinations Records Review Board [1990s] and the House Select Committee on Assassinations [1970s] investigators.GPH

emm Either I was watching an outdoors program on ESPN or just wasting 90 minutes of my time enjoying this little boring drama about a group of big-game hunters discussing and devising tactics to counter-attack a bunch of strangers who spoiled their weekend in the woods. The best part about it was the ending that compares to a classic Civil War drama with plenty of desperate lives at stake, but don't you agree that SHOOT delivers a plot that sounds too fishy to believe? You bet! If you can find it, give it to a loved one who's spent years of military training. Another sick casualty in the fight for survival in the video stores!
